i'm equally disturbed by the michael hutchence lookie-likie. perhaps he is meant to be marc?

and i can't believe i spelt it 'mark' above... how WRONG can you be??

Which one's Steve Peregrine Took?

Surely you mean "Which was has Steve Peregrine taken?"?

Has the one on the right just nicked the one on the left's syrup?

its sort of like 'the berlin philharmonic orchestra plays the beatles' isn't it?

sort of.

or is it more like boney m?

They could put on a festival consisting of

18.00 Christie
19.00 Smokie
20.30 Saxon
22.00 T-Rex

and they would never have to leave the stage... any of them...

It would appear that this is in fact the remnants of the band formerly known as "Mickey Finn's T-Rex" - now minus Mr. Finn for obvious reasons - and that their only tenuous link to T-Rex is a (session?) drummer who appeared on a couple of relatively unimportant, post-peak T-Rex albums (Bolan's Zip Gun (1975) and Futuristic Dragon (1976) anyone?).

It would have been more appropriate for them to have called themselves either Saxon or Smokie, since at least they include an original member of each of those bands (Graham Oliver and Alan Silson respectively)!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 13:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, there's nothing unimportant about Zip-Gun :

1) Mickey Finn is on a couple tracks
2) Gloria Jones
3) Marc signed this album for me. Personally.

I think Ned's fainted and is still unconcious, lying on the floor next to his computer, unable to post... Somebody wake him up please, to see if he's alright!

How many members of T-Rex does it take to change a light bulb?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ans: They're not changing the light bulb, they're holding a torch against it and pretending it's still going....!!!!....!

No, I'd heard about this. I larf and shrug.

i listened to 'Main Man' t'other day, but as a fan of mindless dance music i must say i found it initially plesant but a bit too repetetive

These clowns don't know a champ from a raw ramp.
